Hi Ziners,
We all dream about buying an out-of-town/country home (we'll rent it
when we're not there and pay off the mortgage - sure) and some Ziners
have done it.

Well, we've moved on to the first step...we've chosen France and
likely somewhere in the area of Antibes/Nice. We have some familial
attachment to the country and we speak the language so that's two
hurdles we've jumped.

I'd be interested in hearing from Ziners who have taken the plunge and
about the barriers, hurdles and challenges to buying property out of
your home town or country. I'd also be interested in knowing how much
time Ziners may spend in their "home away from home".
